In WoW

D.E.H.T.A (Druids for the Ethical and Humane Treatment of Animals) is an organization created in direct opposition to master hunter Hemet Nesingwary (just for the record, yes there is yet another Hemet Nesingwary.. in STV, Nagrand and now in Northrend, soon we won't have any more animals in Azeroth but well well). They are opposed to what is essentially the decimation of the wildlife caused by Nesingwary and his hunters, and they also give players the chance to battle Hemet's hunters.

They give ironic quests to collect hunter ears. They ask you to play tricks on hunters, springing baby elephants from traps, and feeding four-legged friends. Their quest line ends in a mounted chase: with you riding down a boss character atop a woolly mammoth, complete with charge, and elephantine roar abilities.Real World

D.E.H.T.A is also a reference to P.E.T.A (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), a real world organization. In WoW, Opus mentions a "G.E.T.A", (most likely a Goblins/Gnomes for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and their investigation of Kibler the goblin.Source taken from Wowwiki, Wikipedia and Google.

Make sure you dont kill any animals before talking to the DEHTA guys. They'll kill you on sight. You get a debuff after you kill an animal in the area. Icon looks like a seal pup. Its quite funny to see people get jumped when they get too close without knowing.

This is probably a foolish question, but is it safe to assume that you can do both quest lines for D.E.H.T.A. as well as Nesingwary and not suffer any detriments?

EDIT: Spelling

I'm puzzled by the level 70 requirement to start any D.E.H.T.A. quest, went there at 69 and spent 40 minutes grinding to get to 70.

This guy says ".. the hunter will become the hunted."And when he does, he reminds me so much of Fubarius Shadesong, the night elf hunter from the Huntology PvP movies and storyline movies.Arch Druid Lathorious even looks like him, with the trimmed white beard and white ponytail! :D

It's not wise to swat a fly near the D.E.H.T.A.

D.E.H.T.A is an anagram for DEATH

So catching the "Animal Blood" Debuff and Farming this guy for the hell of it?I'm so up for that. Screw Cenarion Expedition Rep.

He don't seem that tough. Neither do his buddies.

He gives you a nice buff when you turn in the ears to him, similar to gift of the wild but is more powerful. Unfortunately it doesn't stack with gotw...

Relatively difficult to solo, since he is linked with a couple guards and another Q giver. Tried with a 71 DK, might come back later on for another try. One of the few PvP mobs that also drop loot.

Step 6 - PROFIT!
